Therefore, the folk customs are honest and simple. In daily life, the villagers treat others with integrity and live in harmony.

Old Street
Liujiang Ancient Town was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. Separated from the modern buildings by a river are the buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The quaint wooden houses on stilts are leaning on the roots and branches
The scenery of Liujiang Ancient Town (10 photos) is full of ancient yellow Ge trees. At the end of half the street of the wooden houses, there is a long stone street connected with no words. , showing the vicissitudes and simplicity of the streets. ? The rivers that Liujiang Town relies on are not called Liujiang, but Huaxi River and Yangcun River. Two rivers converge in Liujiang Town, and there is a small island in the Yangcun River. It was originally a lawn, but around 1988 it was gradually turned into a cultural station by residents on the street. There are residential houses hidden among the green trees on the island, which is quite poetic and picturesque. It is said that the island was bought and settled by a painter in his early years. People can't help but admire the painter's vision.
Old trees
There have always been many ancient trees in the ancient town. In Liujiang Ancient Town, there are not only many huge ancient Huang Ge and Maliu trees, but also a Huang Jue orchid that is said to be 200 years old. The old yellow orchids are tens of meters tall, with lush branches and leaves, and the fragrance of flowers is astonishing. What's more surprising is that there is a strange tree in the Zeng family courtyard across the wall from this yellow orchid. The tree is covered with long and thin fruits like cowpeas. No one in the local area knew its name or its origin, so we had to call it "cowpea tree".
Old House
The yard with the "cowpea tree" is called the Zeng Family Courtyard. In the history of Liujiang, there were four major families: Zeng, Zhang, Yang and He. It is said among the people that "the house of the Zeng family, the head of the Yang family, the girls of the Zhang family, and the millet of the He family". Zengjiayuan is the only relatively well-preserved family manor today. According to research, it was built by Zeng Yicheng, a descendant of the Zeng family, after 10 years from 1927 to 1937. It originally occupied an area of ??11,621 square meters and a total construction area of ??5,402 square meters. It has a "four courtyards and three stages" layout, with four There is a courtyard with three stages. There is a viewing platform, a splayed dragon gate, a lady's building, a study room, a stone archway, a peony garden, a litchi garden and a leisure pavilion, which shows the former luxurious style of the owner of the courtyard. ? What is even more peculiar is that the bird's-eye view of this house has the Chinese character "Shou" written in traditional Chinese. It is said that the owner of the Zeng Family Courtyard at that time, in pursuit of conforming to the stroke layout of the character "Shou", built the outer walls or buildings in a very unique way, especially the row of buildings facing the river, which were built like sawtooths, twisting and turning. The strange and unique shape also shows the designer's unique wisdom and meticulous thinking. ? The entire courtyard is decorated with Western architectural patterns, carved beams and painted buildings, and is magnificent. It is a model of modern Chinese and Western architecture. The Zeng Family Courtyard has therefore become the most dazzling scene in Liujiang Ancient Town. Visiting Zengjiayuan is free.

Edit this paragraph’s accommodation guide
Accommodation overview
The tourism development of Liujiang Ancient Town began in 2008. As tourism heats up, tourism companies, individual economies, Farmers also participated in the tourism reception and were roughly divided into three groups. [Tourism Company] The Tourism Company is the largest investor in the development of Liujiang Ancient Town and the largest owner of high-quality resources. Its Zengjia Courtyard and Liujiang Villa not only have good geographical locations, but are also significantly better than other reception units in terms of decoration and reception scale. Their services are targeted at tourists who advocate high standards of consumption. ? [Small-scale reception units] There are several large-scale reception units in Liujiang Ancient Town, with accommodation capacity of more than 50 people. Such service units usually take tourism groups as their main source of profit, and also receive individual tourists. They are at the forefront in terms of facilities, services and prices. Second level. Investing millions more, some of them have bank or private loans. Under the influence of financial pressure, the profit expectations are higher, and the fees are higher than those of ordinary farmhouses.
? [Farmhouse] Limited by funds and courage, this part of the farmhouse is usually the weakest part. Since it is unable to receive groups, it only makes profits during the peak periods of weekends and golden holidays. Room facilities, prices, and services vary widely. The facilities and scale of the reception units of some farmhouses are close to or even surpassed. Moreover, the profit expectations of farmhouses are reasonable, and the room prices given are also lower, making them the most affordable accommodation option.
Accommodation Reservation
Among the accommodation reception services in Liujiang Ancient Town, farmers in the town account for a considerable proportion. They have an advantage in price and have become the main choice for tourists. They can be purchased in advance on the rural travel website Make a reservation. The number of tourists increases suddenly on weekends and prime holidays such as May Day. Therefore, booking services during peak travel periods is highly recommended. Some tourists also like to visit each house after arriving, and finally implement it. Among them, if the latter approach is not handled properly, it will cause disputes. ? Improper handling? Caused conflict? After Mr. Zhang and his group of 12 people arrived in Liujiang, they looked at each house one by one and finally selected a farmhouse in the town that provided accommodation services. They verbally agreed to stay and park outside the farmhouse. During the subsequent trip to the ancient town, another service unit invited Mr. Zhang and his party to stay at his home, and enthusiastically led everyone upstairs to see the room. After comparing the price and conditions, Mr. Zhang and his party decided to change their stay at the latter home. So, the group of people drove away from the former house and parked at the latter house. As a result, the resentful owner of the previous family found Mr. Zhang's car in the town, and had a big quarrel with the owner of the latter family, which eventually developed into violent physical actions. The intervention of the police station prevented the situation from escalating further. The reason is that the former businessman thinks that the latter business is "killing" his business, so of course he won't let it go. As a guest, Mr. Zhang was not directly affected by the conflict, but the entire trip was hardly "pleasant." ? Mr. Zhang and his company did not handle this matter properly. "Cheap and good quality" is the mentality of all consumers, which is understandable. However, after making an agreement with the farmer, it was indeed inappropriate for Mr. Zhang to change his stay to another house, which was unacceptable in Liujiang culture. This may not be a problem in some areas, but not in Liujiang. Therefore, it is recommended that when choosing a farmhouse, you can choose several farmers and make the final decision. Once decided, do not change it to avoid causing trouble.
Consumption Guide
1. When traveling in a large group, you should choose a large-scale reception unit. Travel companies and large-scale reception units are the first choice. You can ask for lower discounts and can combine them with catering. By booking meals and accommodation together, the host will give up more profits on catering and accommodation, taking into account comprehensive profits, and tourists will enjoy more benefits. ? 2. When traveling by car in a private car, farmstay is the best choice. If you go with multiple cars, you can choose a farmhouse "suite", which has a living room and multiple rooms. It is similar to the layout of a family house. The relatively private space is more suitable for friends to get together. Farmhouses should be carefully selected, and the facilities should be no less than those of large-scale units or guest rooms of travel companies. Tourists who like the waterfront can choose farmhouses near the river, which are slightly more expensive; tourists who like quietness can choose the farmhouses behind the pedestrian street and Yuping Street; tourists who like convenient parking can choose Yuping Street and the town road behind the old street. Side farmhouse. ? 3. Don’t “follow the herd” in consumption. Since most tourists are visiting Liujiang for the first time and are not familiar with the local tourism service units, they will naturally have the mentality of "following the herd" and crowd in wherever there are many people. The owner of a restaurant told reporters that during lunch time, if there is a table of customers before 12:00, the business will definitely be good throughout the whole noon. This is because when later tourists see someone consuming, they subconsciously eliminate their distrust of the service unit. psychology. The same goes for accommodation. When I see a lot of cars outside, I squeeze in. Among the service units in Liujiang, except for the ones that opened earlier, the business of units that later joined the tourism reception business was unstable. The key reason is that many of their services are not known to outside tourists. Therefore, it is recommended that tourists visit several places, look around, ask more questions, and then decide which one to spend money at after having certain basic information.
